Chrome can open PDF's natively. This can cause issues when you are trying to open a pdf in Acrobat DC in order to edit or perform a task like electronically signing it. Here is how you instruct chrome to download PDFs to allow your default application to open it

  • In the upper right corner of Chrome, click on the 'three dots' menu and select settings

  • One there find the search magnifying glass in in the blue banner on top and type pdf





  • This will tag all necessary menus with your search, follow them to site settings

  • PDF documents

  • And turn on Download PDF files instead of automatically opening them in Chrome

  • Once this is done you can close the tab in chrome and continue working
